If Microsoft understands the business better, then why has the Online Services division been in the red since 2006? Isn't this the same division that lost Microsoft another $33M in the last quarter alone?
Investigate where the phone companies equipment is placed, and find out what equipment they have there already. If you order specific business services (ie a type of contract with multiple lines, etc) they will be forced to upgrade all the equipment up to your nearest connection to their media. Like someone else noted, many of these types of things are tariffed or are requirements for providing service created by your local municipality. This equipment often is the same that would net you DSL. Unfortunately, this kind of thing isn't something your local telco will want people to know, so pinpointing what service to subscribe is a pain.
"The proposed changes unveiled Tuesday also replace mandatory suspensions and expulsions for students (except in limited circumstances), with the requirement that principals and school boards consider and respond to all infractions in the most appropriate way. That means school officials must consider mitigating factors before students are suspended or expelled."
so. students can take the long honored political tactic of filibustering until they have had time to find an alternative solution by creating a constant stream of offenses that must be considered i.e. Verizon Vs. Vonage before the final verdict may be reached.
Sure, it has a monopoly, in its own domain. I would only be concerned about it if I started to see Google's ads at the top spot on multiple search engines.
Its the difference between seeing Mobile ads at a Shell gas station. Of course your going to see ads from Shell rather than Mobile, but if you don't want to see that, just go to a different service station.
